    When all you have to eat are onions, you will cry for just about anything.

    If I lived in a totalitarian state with a large and brutal secret police and the undisputed leader who was the subject of a deification cult died, I would be crying in public too. Even if I had to rub onion juice in my eyes. Anything else would be much too dangerous.

    Some people in North Korea do actually benefit from the situation there. I'm sure their tears are real. The others are crying real tears because they're required to do so.

    They're probably crying from hunger pains.

    The reason for that is that they couldn't afford onions.

    One could legitimately come to the conclusion that ONLY ISLAMOFASCIST SWINE, and/or their Braindead LIEberrhoidal/OwebamaCRAPster stooges would consider IRREFUTABLE TRUTH to be Offtopic-Flamebaiting-Crap post of the year.

    Like Father,Like Son this new puffy-faced Mao in waiting is all about Face.
    or saving face.Who's kidding who.
    He will have to be a real bastard in order to top pops.Meaning more
    brutal,putting more in concentration camps.Starving more.More hidden
    torture.Electricity out earlier.Fear spread everywhere at the mere mention
    of questioning the New Mao in waiting.
    I just wonder what kind of vice he's adopted.I hope not like Saddam's
    brutal sadist sons,Uday { raped anything that moved } or Qusay { had a
    more Generals approach,like to kill off Military in his Father's army }.

    No need for a dictionary.

    The knowledge, and/or the recognition of TRUTH will suffice.

    On the other hand, if one is an ISLAMOFASCIST SWINE, and/or a Braindead LIEberrhoidal/OwebamaCRAPster stooge then it would be IMPOSSIBLE for this "Theological" and/or Political Idiot to comprehend REALITY.

    I'd say it's real. These people are brainwashed since birth. They thought of their leader as a god.

    Why don't you put that for your signature.

    I'm sure that countless Americans will be enamoured by it.

    North Koreans?

    I would cry too if I had nothing more glorious to look forward to than another generation of Jung.

    I've watched all 4 of these videos. interesting. some very funny stuff on how they're brainwashed, lots of interesting stuff, different, and some amazing stuff. there's a lot to laught at about USA and our free world no less then about them, they praise King Jong Il, we praise lord Jesus Christ...
    Funiest thing was how the library desk was the best desk in the world and it was invented by their great leader. also the blind man who regained their vision thanks to the Nepalese American speaking doctor, ran up to the portrait of the dear leader promising how "now with these eyes I will take a gun and will kill every American"... that was the kicker, pure classic. I love that man. don't know why. :mrgreen:

    North Korea is known for propaganda village, and Asians are known for putting on fake emotions to please their superiors. That is genetic and cultural.

    Some of the broadcast media is propagnada, as they have the aligator tears, for if they celebrated, they would be jailed for a crime against the government.

    Nevertheless, some N Koreans do like the Ill Kim, and some don't. In Korea when a person dies, their bodies are taken through the streets in a casket and the procession cries and whales the whole trip. Igues it is to show respect. While in the military I saw a few funeral marches to the happy mounds, and that is what they do, most of the attendees, put on the aligator emotions, while some realy do cry.

    I don't support Obama, I'm not a Liberal, I'm not Islamic... So I guess I must be braindead from your conclusions.

    If disagreeing with your offtopic rants is braindead, I don't want to have a brain.

    Oh man it's great! I feel bad for those people because it's not their fault they're nuts (it's mandated by law) but my god it's just pure madness. I'd love to see them gain their freedom but I just don't see it happening.

    I believe that most if not all are sinscere. I say this because its like a sudden change in thier normal lifes. This can be a small scale model of Soviet Russia after Stalin or the reaction to the death of Hitler. People commited suicide. Frantic depression about. And uncertainty of the future in the air. All this because they all truley believed in the cause. This is no laghing matter people. They have a unexperienced leader mostlikely a figurehead to a military element to the goverment. This is bad for all of us. American and european. Mexican and African.

    I remember a National Geographic Explorer edition where they went inside NK undecover, posing as a team of helper with a famous eye surgeon.. The NK people reminded me of a Jim Jones-like cult. It was impossible to tell how many were faking their crazed adoration of their "Dear Leader" but one got the impression that most of it was genuine mass hysteria.

    I've always wondered how people could allow themselves to ever get to the point where they lose their ability to be sovereign individuals. But, you are right. Growing up from childhood in systems of indoctrination and thought control certainly does the trick. Of course, there is always a generation of adults that haven't gone through such mental programming and who deliberately choose to follow non-sense. But in NK and most cults' cases, that generation succumbs mostly out of personal mental issues like fear, despair, extreme levels of wishful thinking, and so on.

    I watch the folks in the USA zealously defending the very things which take away their own liberty and I know that at least on a much smaller scale than maybe the Jones or NK cults, we ALL have the scary ability to get abnormally enthusiastic over what could easily turn out to be the building of our own national and personal prison.

    I have a hunch that this simply is what North Koreans look like all the time.

    I view it like this: our leaderships are like brains, and the rest of humanity is like a body of an animal. this theory also fits in with my other theory of what happens after we die: we lose our vehicle, but the soul floats never dies.
    Anyway, I believe that not only NK leaderships are idiotic, there's good and bad about other leaderships as well. if I was a leader of America, I don't know why but I would want to be friends with their leader, and no media (in whose interest conflicts are) would stand in my way of becoming friends with their leader. in exchange of course for them stopping their hate propaganda against America. it's so easy (for me) maybe partly because I've lived in both types of systems.

    I think you need to review your political anatomy. I view the leadership more like this
